Thanks for this. Many national broadcasters republish the work of local journalists without giving any credit. With this interview we know it's Alexis who did the work. Your questions were spot on, getting right to the point.
Katie, I have followed you for years. You were a keynote speaker at a conference I attended in San Francisco. . a long time ago.
Thank you for covering this case, the victims and families need justice.
Thank God for Alexis Linkletter & Thank you, Katie, for having her on.
I can not tell a lie, I LMMFAO when Katie says " A Shitload of guns"
Ya know because that coming from her, explains the size of the collection better than the actual confirmed number
I am so used to seeing her on TV where that would never happen.
Katie Couric is and has always been a classy and smart woman.
I wish you all the best ladies !
Thank you for the info.
So wonderful to tune in and listen to two Uber intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate women discuss the news. Thanks both!
I didn’t know Alexis was a key link to helping with ,unveiling the corruption with James Burke. The fact that her old friend did what he did and to find all the stuff on the ex chief. and all the corruption of this case, is mind blowing . I wish her much success with her future and with the next level of her career. I really enjoyed her as a guest. I hope she is back on.
Outstanding program Katie. How did I not know about this case and story. In Vancouver we have tragically had horrific experiences with several serial killers. Thank you for saying their names. It is so important. Sex workers are so much more than that. They are precious human beings. This area is related to the work I do, in a smaller way, so I am fascinated. The best way to hide is to blend in! Then there are the William Picktons like we had here and oh was that a horror show. Offenders of this nature love to take risks and mention ongoing police investigations. It is like a trophy which for most of us seems so despicable. Thank you for having such an amazing guest and it's a huge treat to hear your interviews Katie. Be well!!
According to a June 29, 2023 (updated July 14, 2023) online article by The Sun, The second autopsy found that Shannan [...Gilbert] "met a violent end, that she was strangled," the family's attorney John Ray exclusively told The U.S. Sun. Ray was there when world-renowned medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden performed the second autopsy.
Bright smart young lady....keep up the good work, Alexis.
I've been listening to Alexis Linkletter for years. She did a series on TV and podcast called Unraveled. So she has been investigating this for years.
Audio quality! this is second video in a row with same issue. Interview was done very well, brought lot more clarity. Thanks!
The greatest mistake most make is that they think that “monsters” are killers. But this man, as so many others, is like everyone else in many ways. And, he is quite similar to “BTK” in many ways (sexual sadism, facade of normal family, job wherein he exerted power, etc). Psychopaths look like your neighbor.
God created, Satan imitated. Killers= monsters .Most people know their killer. Serial killers are rare. On the decrease, not increase. No need to be paranoid. Tc.
I already believe a step relative and this neighbor that I put in my building as a realtor are really bad people masquerading as "ordinary" folks. Sick and scary. I've called this neighbor out for being a creep (long story) and soon as I did, I RARELY bumped into him since we have been living in a small building. I would not be surprised he's GPS ing me via my phone. Paranoia will annoy ya sure....but I can't help but be paranoid. His wife is a loser, over weight Russian woman who probably enables him.
Unraveled ! Im going to check it out ! Thanks
Alexis, I am now listening to your Podcast "Unraveled" , now on Episode 5. Blows my mind and makes me angry! You two did great investigative work! Just tell me one thing: How come Burke is wondering amongst the free and careless?
Thank you 😊
Doesn't Katie's voice comfort you? It's like coming home. ❤
Definitely and I’m Australian
your home is a curse? wild.
No
No, it's grating.
Yes!!!!! I’ve always respected her and turn to her to learn about current events.
Thank you,
The monsters do walk amongst us. My older sister was abducted and raped, but fortunately survived.
Thanks to the diligence of those in Law Enforcement and the victims survivors commitment. Let's hope the perpetrator(s) will meet justice.
Peace to the victims and family
PROUD UNREPENTANT SINNERS WALK AMONG US. PS. It is not flesh and blood we battle.
I am so happy your sister survived and I hope she was able to make a full recovery and move on with her life.
Excellent interview, thanks!
Just the thought of his family living in that creepy house is unnerving - I can't imagine how it must have been for his daughter and stepson to grow up in that place.
One little extra to this, his story ... With a first name like this, if "Rex" happens to be his christened name, that translates as "the King", coming from Latin, a language ancient but very alive ... Isn' t it more than intriguing, keeping in mind how ,a name is given to decorate, to secure a certain meaning ... a feeling thru life ... Given such a spooky name, such omen while knowing how there is "bad'' and there is always "worse than bad'', there could be someone in family his/story to "inspire" this dark, dark character ...
Superb interview! Going to check out the Unraveled podcast now, but had a quick comment/question. I read or heard somewhere that Shannon's autopsy revealed evidence of a broken or crushed buone in her neck that is consistent with strangulation. I also saw the movie Lost Girls and the doctor who called Shannon's mother, 2 days after she went missing, told the mother he had helped Shannen that night and then later denied ever having made that call. Shannon's earring was found on his property (by her mother) and later her remains were found in his back yard, which was swampland. Sorry-I guess that wasn't a "quick question"! Just find the doctor to be another VERY suspicious character in all this. Particularly re Shannon and that call he denied making. Any thoughts or clarification/confirmation re either of these details? Again, this interview is the most comprehensive I've seen yet!
The difference between the gilgo 4 & the earlier victims being dismembered may be as simple as his vehicle at the time. We know he got the Avalanche truck (easier to transport/off load & victims that were left whole- also you can hose down the flatbed to remove evidence) was it as simple as he has been driving a sedan at those times when the victims were dismembered?
I went to police in 2 states about my cousin who was poisoning me and killed my Service Dog (I have epilepsy). She is older than me, I'm in my late 60's. She said she had killed her best friend who was "suffering". She said she had to kill other people who were "sick". She lives in Houston and told me no one would ever find her guilty.
Please talk to someone about this. Please.
I’m so sorry. Get restraining order and press charges and use anonymous tip line as well or police non emergency number.
Fascinating!!
Sounds like the Suffolk County DA and the police department are complicit in this . Really sickening.
Love Katie's glasses
After listening to the 911 tape I think there are others involved- Rex maybe the main person but the doctor that called the mom and from the 911 call by Shannon there maybe more suspects. Maybe with other victims
How can Rex get a fair trial when the media has already declared him guilty?
Who is Alexis? No last name? Thank you❤
May they RIP ! Sad !
This should be made into a movie. Incredible story. I wonder if there are women who had contact with the killer or killers and survived and have not come forward to protect their privacy in connection with the stigma of sex work? I hope someone else comes forward to bring light to the story and to help victims families find answers.
Oh absolutely there could be other sex workers that he has seen.
I wouldn’t be surprised if people/sex workers had already come forward. As well as being contacted and spoken with.
I’m sure that they would be going through his phone records, his online activity etc and contacting anyone that he’s been corresponding with.
The police would want statements from any women/female sex workers that came into contact with this guy.
They’d also want to check that these women were safe and well - because, who knows, there might be other victims out there.
This guy could have more than one location where he hides his victims - now that’s a scary thought 😳
I’m pretty sure that they would be offering absolute privacy for anyone wishing to remain anonymous for personal or social reasons. They might lead totally different lives now.
Some women might have only done sex work for a short period of time, and now they either have a family, or work in a different profession. This case is too important for the authorities not to offer privacy protections when potentially valuable information could be involved.
Sorry for waffling on - I just really liked (and appreciated) what you said in your comment 🤣
I just know that if I saw the news, and realised that I had actually “seen” this guy, (in a professional capacity) that I would be calling those detectives - if they hadn’t already contacted me that is!
🙂🐿🌈🐿
P.s also .... YES to a movie being made - I bet that there are people already typing up screen plays as we speak (well, there would be except for the writers strike going on 😳)
Stigma? Of Prostitution? What a sin ie sex obsessed world! Worker = slave. PLAYING GODS? Leads to hell. And no wonder. ...
@@SecretSquirrelFun There is also a lady who said she was in a networking group with Heuermann, and that he gave her a call after she left that group (precisely because he was making her feel uncomfortable).
Thank you for shining a light into the eyes of evil❤. Christ gravitated to sex workers realizing their plight - the set-up😢😢😢
Thanks for this overview “Cliff Notes” I would call it - I have one Rex video on my YT page and working on another…fyi.
In forensics an amount of more skills should be developed. AI might help out and provide and alarm to sexworkers because a lot of them lost their family connections which makes them socially vulnerable… 💔🥀
Scary people
Including Heuermann. Bt What about Burke? Bittrolff? Etc tc,
many serial killers are "family men." They can be very charming, which most people don't like to imagine about serial killers. It makes them even more creepy to think of them easily blending in with the rest of society.
Is Alexis Link letter related to Art Linkletter?
Just look it up. He's her great-grandfather
You asked my question. 😊
@@peggystoutemorin4529 I meant to say I just "looked it up"
@smariebryant70 I was replying to Cheryl's question but no problem.
@@smariebryant70 thanks for your reply! I ended up looking it up too. I remember Kids Say the Darnedest Things lol. That was 60s reality tv lol.
there are 1000 ´s more
we BREED them
this case breeds even more
Shannon Gilbert the most important part of the case
She’s not apart of this case. She has 0 ties to Rex.
Yep, Shannon is the reason any of the others were found, so we can not exclude her.
Agree to disagree. No doubt, in response to much needed pressure, looking for her, helped lead them to the others, indeed. People can listen to the unedited 911 calls re yt. And what is more? People can and should call re info the lawless officers little parties. And lawlessness. Blessings.
@@legendary2553You don't know this for sure.
Which victim was stabbed?
Profilers had him pegged, so they weren't at all surprised
Human Sport Hunting for evil with power, too obvious? Why beat around the bush while women, children and the vulnerable are being cruelly and ruthlessly slaughtered? Go save a pet then weirdos 😢😢😢
Shannon Gilbert, Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack were also petite women. I wonder if Peaches, Fire Island and the possible trans woman were also petite?
#multiple killers. Their sins will find them out. Btw. Only 2 kinds. Males and females. Trans is a prefix. Revelation 13 isnt a rescue plan. Iron and clay cannot cleave; doesnt mix.
@@JordanRivers-hx2lr You seem fun
Wonder if the police Chief and Rex went to the same sex parties.
I think he killed every victim they found there.
👍
So professional Katie! "S__T LOAD OF GUNS! YOU'RE REALLY COOL!
The toddler is so confusing to me?
Possibly brought along with his mom, a sex worker who was also killed.
The toddler was linked through DNA to the body of a sex worker who had been dismembered and left at different spots around Long Island back in the 90s. My guess is that she had an appointment and brought her child unexpectedly and the killer... Well.... Ugh.
@@ingridseim1379 there’s 0 evidence peaches was a sex worker.
Other than her tattoos and DNA, has any evidence been made publicly?
Let's hope they all get their names back
2 weeks behind the times Katie. Still trying to broadcast for the Boomers 😂. You look amazing tho. I haven’t seen you since I cut cable years ago, when you were working with that hunky Matt guy.
2 words Katie Jeffrey Epstein shame on you
Katie, do you remember this kind of thing happening when you and I were growing up,🤔😌
Yes. Serial killing is of the ages. This isn’t new. We just have the ability to identify patterns and solve crime more effectively.
NO DOUBT, serial killing is rare. Rarer now then years ago. Rome and antisocial media glorify and talk obsessively re ie sex and other sins. Ha. Tc.
Edit: than. Tc.
Katie, you should put on some lipstick and blush - you'd look much prettier!!
She looks great!
Are you serious? First of all, that's just your opinion. She's not doing this to be pretty for you. She's a serious journalist with a long, professional career. Please don't throw out these comments about her personal looks when she's covering a horrific story.
Jeez. Sexist much?
I chose to watch THIS video bc it leads with 2 beautiful and enlightened faces, and not the murderous Schmu€k(s) who I am sick of looking at.
Suey? Ha. UR SO VAIN , ..
katie looks so old now.. cracks everywhere
This is such a weird comment.
@@legendary2553if by weird, you mean rude
Very rude
I love how Katie has the confidence to be on camera without makeup. 👑
That’s such a loser comment.
Rex did his work pre 1995 in new york city. Cold case in the city will be able to be linked to rex if the local nypd was atleast half way doing their job.
The asian male was not rexs work that was james burke. Which is why it took 13 years to solve.
